  • Crafting container images without Dockerfiles
    20 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 6 Feb 2023
    (Self plug) I had the same thoughts as the author, and made this: https://github.com/andrewbaxter/dinker . Like stated in the article, if you're doing rust or go all you want is to dump the binary in the image. There's no reason to do the build inside the docker vm in that case, and it's super fast, and only uses dumb filesystem access - no daemons like docker, weird wip container managers like buildah, etc.
  • Rails on Docker ยท Fly

    Self hoisting here, I put this together to make it easier to generate single (extra) layer docker images without needing a docker agent, capabilities, chroot, etc: https://github.com/andrewbaxter/dinker

    Caveat: it doesn't work on Fly.io. They seem to be having some issue with OCI manifests: https://github.com/containers/skopeo/issues/1881 . They're also having issues with new docker versions pushing from CI: https://community.fly.io/t/deploying-to-fly-via-github-actio... ... the timing of this post seems weird.

    FWIW the article says

    > create a Docker image, also known as an OCI image

    I don't think this is quite right. From my investigation, Docker and OCI images are basically content addressed trees, starting with a root manifest that points to other files and their hashes (root -> images -> layers -> layer configs + files). The OCI manifests and configs are separate to Docker manifests and configs and basically Docker will support both side by side.
